Law and Order is jumping on the Slavery issue! Law and Order SVU is about a girl that was kidnapped and was a sex slave for four years before escaping. It played on NBC Tuesday at 10 BUT they are playing it again tomorrow at 9. The episode is called "Smut" BUT Law and Order the regular one is new Wed. at 10 and is about child slavery! The Law and Order site for NBC has a link to Freetheslaves.net. So.. it seems I'll have to make a note to watch that one as well. boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showtopic=812331For Law and Order episode info!

That's great! It's really good when popular shows that a LOT of people are going to watch bring up the issue. It's a great way for many more people to learn about it and see how much it needs to end.

Well I watched the SVU one... it was pretty good. Had an intresting twist to it... I'm going to watch the regular Law and Order one tonight, I'm not usually into the normal one, but I'm going to watch it for the slavery issue.

I'm watching Law and Order now - It's about half way over and so far it's REALLY good. These two lawyers were murdered, their main suspect is a man who was fighting for his "child" in a divorce case. They can't find the man so they go and talk to his ex-wife who has two children and her "adopted" daughter. The problem though, there is no pictures of this "adopted" daughter and after the divorce the daughter was sent back to her home because the adopted wasn't final and they "couldn't" keep her. This lead them to their friends who have a "child" as well, turns out this child is a slave, now they are looking for the girl to find out what's going on.
The second couple lived in the country for three years before making up "adoption" papers to bring their slave back here. The lawyers can't do anything because there is no slavery laws in New York. They can only charge them for neglect and kidnapping.
More when it comes up

Ending Law and Order -
While looking for the first girl the detectives find a slavery ring. They collect 16 children from 14 couples... or 14 children from 16 couples... I don't remember which. But they are still looking for the person who killed the two lawyers. It gives statistics 8 1/2 million children are sold into slavery each year.
The ending... is sad... I'm not going to say anything because Ravyn I think is going to watch it... and I don't want to give it away for her

NUMB3RS just did a show, too. Not AS pointed, they didn't get freetheslaves.net approval, but... interesting.
